How TRIUMEQ PD Works

Triumeq PD combines three antiretroviral agents from two different drug classes to inhibit HIV-1 replication: * **Dolutegravir** is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI). It inhibits HIV integrase by binding to the active site and blocking the strand transfer step of retroviral DNA integration, which is essential for the HIV replication cycle. * **Abacavir and Lamivudine** are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Following intracellular phosphorylation to their active metabolites, they act as analogues of natural nucleosides. They compete for incorporation into viral DNA by the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme, leading to DNA chain termination and inhibition of viral replication.
